You'll notice I'm posting from a personal domain ... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It's actually owned by my brother, but that's by the by. He uses this |
| 24 |
company ... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
http://www.hosts.co.uk/ which appears to be an old blog (I guess the |
| 27 |
company got taken over or changed its name) but the website does say |
| 28 |
they are now https://www.names.co.uk/ so try there instead. |

You'll have to investigate exactly what the setup is yourself, but I |
| 31 |
believe he gets a dashboard and can set up about 25 pop/imap accounts on |
| 32 |
his domain for not much money - looks like about £5 per month. Each |
| 33 |
account can also have multiple aliases - he's given me one imap/pop |
| 34 |
account with two aliases. I then use their smtp host for sending. Or if |
| 35 |
your ISP offers email addresses, you should be able to send via them - I |
| 36 |
know my ISP assumes that since I'm logged in to their network I must be |
| 37 |
legit ... :-) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Not knowing where you're based, but like I've got <name>.org.uk, you |
| 40 |
might be able to get <name>.org.us or whatever - see what's free. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
£60 - $80 or so - per year isn't a bad price for a personal domain that |
| 43 |
all the family can use ... :-) |
